Ajax.aspnetcdn.com Expired TLS Cert

1 points by jvilalta ↗ HN
https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ has an expired certificate. Maybe we can learn something from this. Are folks still struggling with getting their certs renewed? Monitoring them? How do you /your team / company avoid this?

The ASPNETCDN site examples all have a fallback so nothing should have broken if you followed their examples. It's interesting they did this given others do not.

such as

Production applications should not take a hard dependency on CDN assets. Applications should test for the CDN asset referenced, and use a fallback asset when the CDN is not available.

  // Fallback to loading jQuery from a local path if the CDN is unavailable
  (window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="/scripts/jquery-1.9.0.min.js"><\/script>'));

I came across this on one of the MS properties, so they obviously did not follow their own advice.
